Pop Rocks® Science—
Determine the Volume of CO2—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: The Flinn Staff
Remember eating Pop Rocks®? What makes the candy crackle as it pops in your mouth? In this lab activity, students will dissolve a known mass of Pop Rocks in a tube filled with water and measure the volume of carbon dioxide gas released. The identity of the gas will also be confirmed by use of an indicator solution. Students will then use their data to calculate the mass and volume a candy manufacturer would need to produce the candy on a large scale. A fun introductory lab activ- ity! Includes detailed background information, reproducible student worksheets with answers, comprehensive Instructor’s Notes, and all necessary chemicals and supplies.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Preparing and Testing Hydrogen Gas—
Student Laboratory Kit
By: Brother Carmen Ciardullo, Retired
St. Joseph’s Prep Seminary, Princeton, NJ
Hydrogen gas is prepared and tested more safely using microscale tech- niques. Hydrochloric acid reacts with zinc metal to produce hydrogen gas. The hydrogen gas is collected by water displacement in the bulb of a Beral-type pipet. Pure hydrogen gas as well as hydrogen mixed with air can safely be tested for flammability. Many trials can be run during one class period. All chemicals and specialized equipment are provided.
Complete for 30 students working in pairs.
Properties of Gases and the
Gas Laws—Activity-Stations Kit
By: Patricia Mason, Retired
Delphi Community H.S., Delphi, IN and Kathy Kitzmann,
Mercy H.S., Farmington Hills, MI
The properties of gases and the gas laws are important in many areas of science and real life, including physiology, meteorology, scuba diving, even hot air ballooning! In this activity-stations lab, students will investigate the properties of gases, derive the mathematical relation- ships among the gas variables, and use the kinetic-molecular theory to explain the behavior of gases. There are four “mini-lab” activities, each one focusing on a specific principle or topic:
• Diffusion of Gas Molecules • Atmospheric Pressure
• Boyle’s Law
• Charles’ Law
Each activity is a self-contained unit designed to take about 10 minutes to complete—student groups may rotate through the stations in any order. Instructor’s Notes with complete sample data, compre- hensive background information, reproducible student handouts, and all chemicals and consumables needed to perform the activities are supplied. Activity-stations lab format lets you do more labs in less time!
Complete for 24 students working in groups of three.
